Detection Input & Output Section
Detection Input & Output Section
The Addressable Input/Output Module is a fully monitored device which permits the interfacing of third party equipment with the Fire Alarm Control panel using normally open dry contact connections while also providing a changeover output relay to control ancillary equipment. The Green LED will pulse every time the unit is polled by the panel. The Yellow LED will be ON whenever there is a fault condition in the module and finally the Red LED will be ON when there is an alarm condition at the module’s input.
Smoke Detector
Smoke Detector
A smoke detector is an electronic fire-protection device that automatically senses the presence of smoke, as a key indication of fire, and sounds a warning to building occupants.
Commercial and industrial smoke detectors issue a signal to a fire alarm control panel as part of a building’s central fire alarm system. By law all workplaces must have a smoke detection system.
Household smoke detectors, or smoke alarms, issue an audible and/or visual alarm locally from the detector itself. They can be battery-powered single units or several interlinked hardwired (mains-powered) devices backed up by batteries. The latter must be installed in all new buildings and after major refurbishments.
Heat Detector
Heat Detector
Heat Detectors respond to excessively high temperatures in the protected area, which are presumed to be the result of a fire in the area. Various techniques are used to distinguish between fire produced heat and heat increases due to expected conditions in the area. Flame or Smoke detectors will usually respond to a fire faster than heat detectors. But non-electronic styles of heat detectors are considered to be the most reliable fire reporting device, and are therefore often used as backups for the other fire detectors.
Multisensory Detector
Multisensory Detector
Multi-sensor Detectors are a combined optical smoke and heat detector allowing flexibility in the detection of fires. Using the combined detection method a fire condition can be confirmed if both heat and smoke sensors operate.
These Detectors are general purpose detectors which respond well to a wide range of fires. In some cases they can be mode selected for hours of occupation. Therefore, offering a even greater level of flexibility.

Manual Call Point
Manual Call Point
There’s always something new you can learn to improve your fire safety knowledge and today we’ll look at yet another key element of your fire detection system – the manual call points (MCP) used to activate your fire alarm. From what they actually do and where to find them to using and testing them correctly – here’s everything you need to know about fire alarm call points.
In case of a fire, it’s essential that the alarm can be activated quickly. Only then is fast evacuation possible. Honeywell’s wide range of manual call points provide a means to manually trigger fire alarms. These ever-reliable devices are powered by modern, world-class fire alarm technology, ensuring that they provide a strong, ongoing defence against fires.
